As far as stockpiles go, my personal favorite is to use the wagon for as long as I can stay close to it. A huge stockpile can be quite unwieldy, as you need the space, and it makes all travel longer.
What I like to do is, given friendly environment, surround the wagon with a wall, and connect that wall (on any level - above, below or over ground) to connect it to my fortress. Or, if it's convenient, just directly to the entrance.
Stockpiles save a lot of effort over time, so as you start designating areas, make appropriate stockpiles - until then, you don't really need resource separation.
Have you started already? Otherwise I can suggest some things about starting dwarves.
Also, food is important, and difficult in 31.03! I like to bring along a herbalist and collect everything around. Then brew it, and plant an above-ground farm. Above-ground requires SOIL, not MUD (ignore the yellow warning message, it does not apply) - that way, you have more time to develop your underground farm properly.
Labour separation is also important. Specialize dwarves as much as possible.
Trade goods are easier than ever with the multiple resources - try and make good use of the gems and metals everywhere.
Defense is imperative - sooner than later you'll get enemies. Sooner if you have hostile environment. Multiple channels can create moats (and you can remove the remaining ramps from below), and walls are unbreachable. Military is very arcane and mostly buggy right now. You may want to read up on getting dwarves to train individually, and equip them in armor. Armor can be layered if you have the patience. Otherwise, weapon traps can be spectacular - they require a lot of work, but they mince goblins quickly.
Cooking food is a great way to optimize stockpiles.
Given that dwarves now eat and sleep and drink later than earlier (work themselves until they are really tired), make sure that they have easily accessible food, drink and rest to minimize downtime.
Masons are important! You will have plenty of rocks, so make good use of them.
All I got off the top of my head.
